Not saying that’s in the works, but it could happen a little later this summer because Top Rope Promotions has come through in its mission to bring a big, big name to town for one of its pro wrestling cards.

Bret “Hitman” Hart, WWE heavyweight champion two decades ago, is set to appear on TRP’s Summer Showdown ‘14 card on Friday, Aug. 1, at the PAL Hall, 31 Franklin St.

Forced into early retirement by an injury years ago, Hart is not scheduled to compete in an actual match. But that doesn’t preclude him from head slapping anyone getting disrespectful, or from locking his famous finishing hold, the sharpshooter, on some other local wise mouth — perhaps our own Million Dollar Man, Tom Chace.

The Hitman does not come cheap. Tickets for the event are priced at $30 (front row VIP, with poster), $20 (second row), and $15 general admission. By purchasing in advance, you can also get a free general admission ticket to TRP’s July 26 show at PAL.

A thought in the wake of Germany’s amazing 7-1 World Cup pole-axing of Brazil. Given the time and resources, I would visit every soccer fan in Brazil and explain how they now know how we Patriots fans felt after Super Bowl XX.

Driving in Fall River continues to promote ocular hemorrhaging. The Route 79/Davol Street demolition/construction doesn’t help, but it isn’t to blame. It simply highlights this fine city’s low driving IQ. As we’ve said before: Fall River, home of the two-car traffic jam.

Memory Lane, in search of players who killed Boston pro teams:

Buddy Bell. Specifically remember an afternoon game grand slam he hit to dead center at the old Municipal Stadium in Cleveland. AFTER typing this, I decided to go online and test my memory. I found the Bell slam. It came off Steve Barr, on July 5, 1975.

Couldn’t stand Buddy Bell for a lot of years, something about that blond hair and the way he tortured the Sox. I got over that. Buddy (son of Gus Bell, as we would always hear) is OK in this book, even if he does look like Teddy Regan. There’s actually a third guy who looks like Bell and Regan. Don’t have his name but he was working the water tube slide at Attitash a few years back.

The guess here is that Buddy Bell, while with the Indians, batted around .400 against the Sox.

Quick quiz: In that 1975 pennant season for the Sox, only one team had a winning record against Boston during the regular season. Name it. Answer below or beyond.

Page 2 of 2 - Durfee grad Brandon Gomes, pitching for the Triple A Durham Bulls, has not allowed an earned run in his last four outings, spanning 7-1/3 innings.

The New Bedford Bay Sox recently signed UMass Dartmouth catcher Cory DeMedeiros, who played his high school ball at Diman and Durfee. The Sox are struggling big time in terms of wins and losses. Through Thursday, they were 5-20 in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.

Non-sport pet peeve: Price listings that put the double zero after the decimal point. If the price is just a whole number, list it as such.

$11 (yes). $11.00 (no).

If there’s one place to be stopped in traffic, it’s the top of the Mount Hope Bridge. That view, especially to the south and southwest, is not to be taken for granted.

Just a reminder for what should be a cool outdoor event later this month. The Fall River Community Youth Fest, a 5-on-5 basketball tournament (middle school, high school, adult divisions) is set for July 19 at Britland Park.

Quiz answer: Buddy Bell and the Indians.
